The chairperson of the Serbian parliament’s Committee for Kosovo and Metohija, Milovan Drecun, said today that it is of utmost importance that states opposed to Kosovo’s independence are present at forthcoming UNESCO General Conference and vote when decision is made about Kosovo’s membership in that organization. According to Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic, voting over Kosovo’s membership in UNESCO should take place around 9th November.

MP from the ranks of the Serbian List in the Kosovo parliament Nenad Rašić said that he expects EU to exert pressure on Pristina due to sending the agreement on Association/Community of Serb municipalities for assessment by the Constitutional Court, and added that certain ‘anonymous’ EU representatives said in media that even Stabilization and Association Agreement could be called into question.

A campaign aimed at gaining "international capacity" to Kosovo, in several directions, is currently under way, Milovan Drecun has said. Speaking to RTS, the chair of the Parliamentary Committee on Kosovo and Metohija from the ranks of the ruling SNS party said Belgrade was "facing a planned campaign."

The paper’s Brussels-based correspondent, Augustin Palokaj comments on the recently signed Stabilization Association Agreement between the EU and Kosovo. According to him, the EU has intentionally held the signing of this agreement without any notable ceremony as differently from the other countries, as if it feared the countries that have not recognized Kosovo and Serbia. He notes that apart from the content of the SAA for Kosovo which differs from those of the other countries, the manner in which the Agreement was signed differs as well.

Extra-parliamentarian Serbian People’s Party (SNP) requested again today from the Serbian Government to freeze participation in the Brussels talks, and assessed that Brussels dialogue is obviously conceptualized in a way that Serbia, step by step, becomes an accomplice in recognition of the fake state of Kosovo.

The official YouTube channel of Serbian President Tomislav Nikolic published a video "The truth about the destruction of Serbian cultural heritage in Kosovo and Metohija", which has launched the campaign #NoKosovoUnesco.

The description of the video states: "The four pearls of world heritage: the Monastery of Decani, the Pec Patriarchate, Gracanica and the Church of Holy Virgin of Ljevisa are still on the list of UNESCO, and are in danger. Those who seek admission to UNESCO are those who have exposed them to danger".

MP from the ranks of the Democratic Party of Kosovo Zenun Pajaziti says that decision of the Kosovo President to send the agreement on Association/Community of Serb municipalities (A/CSM) to Constitutional Court for its opinion over constitutionality doesn’t mean its suspension.

The government of Kosovo discussed in its meeting today the draft law for ratification of the Stabilization Association Agreement between Kosovo and the European Union. The Prime Minister of Kosovo, Isa Mustafa, said that they are submitting the SAA draft law to the Assembly in order to be proceeded as soon as possible and for Kosovo to move faster in the integrating processes.

The Patriarch of the Serbian Orthodox Church Irinej argues that membership of self-declared Kosovo in UNESCO would present a cultural genocide, and that support to this membership would be a shame for Europe.

The coordinator of the steering team for creation of the Association/Community of Serb municipalities (A/CSM), Ljubomir Maric, said to Radio Television Serbia that he is worried with the fact that decision on postponement of the creation of the A/CSM is made without consultations with Serbs, to whom agreement refers, and opines that this bears another message which is not good. Kosovo President Atifete Jahjaga two days ago called Kosovo Constitutional Court to examine constitutionality of the agreement on A/CSM.
